I have recently joined this group in effort to try and get off crack. I dont want a pitty party for myself, but I do want someone to please god tell me how to get this eveil drug out of my life. I have a wonderful wife 3 wonderful children and a wonderful job. It is only a matter of time before i lose them all, and I know this. I am the only income in my home and I cant go away for treatment but I want more than anything the support, advice, or anything to help me with this addiction.I spent over a thousand dollars this week alone and if I tried to guess a real dollar amount over the past five years I would have to say almost 200,000 dollars on this eveil drug. I cant believe I am even in this situation...but believe me...I AM. I need something to help me stay away from this drug. I know it could kill me I know all the dangers, and have never heard anything positive about it, so why do I do it... addiction is my only reply to that. maybe this wont help me, but I do realize that I have a drug problem, I realize it will tear my life apart, and I realize the statistics overall could be fatal. I know that admitting I have a drug problem is the first step, I also am not in denial. So if this is a positive start, what do I do next...I need help and I need it bad. My children are all very young, the oldest is 5, and younger are the other 2. They need me to be here for them and my wife who is still by my side needs me as well. We are a happy loving family with love in our home and then I go and smoke crack and risk it all. Please god someone tell me why I do this with such a wonderful life right here in my lap??????? I am educated but seem to be very dumb when it comes to this drug. I dont know what to do...I ask anyone to help me get away from crack. I need anything that can be a positive influence to help me quit. Consequences alone are not enough...Please someone help me...I feel like I am going to self distruct...Please..Please...ANYONE help me....Thanks Doug

first off let me start by saying i feel your pain. Crack ain't no joke!!!!
this addiction has nothing to do with your family, even tho you will loose them to crack if you don't stop.I was you once and I'm gonna tell you how to kick your habit. I read something in the bible that i know is true, and if you follow it I promise before you know it, the desire to get high will subside.
God said: Blessed is he who inder temptation. Now I know you was waiting for a magic stick and everything will be ok. But the truth is getting clean is harder than being broke trying to get high. the only thing you have to do is mean it. Thats it just mean it, and then inder the temptation. You can not do it for your wife, kids or anyone else this thing is all about you. you have to do it for you. It takes work to stay high and its gonna take work to get clean. All up to you now either get clean or hit rock bottom and hope you can bounce back. take it from me and everbody that came before us. That high you think is so great just ain't worth loosing everything you have buddy. remember this if your seeking help your not too far gone to turn around.
that's well put happy
we do have to want it for ourselves
and we do have to not only want it but be willing to work hard to get it
it is so very worthwhile, as hard as it is is as great as it is to get it..
DH: you CAN do this if you really want to, it's not easy but you CAN do it.
transfer the energy you spend on using to not using ..
